In the light duty cycles, like delicate, or perma press, the default spin

Greetings and Salutations, All.
In the mid 60's in the UK, as a present to my hardworking Mom, I
bought a washing machine that heated the water, washed and spun the
clothes before drying them. It was a well made Italian machine,
fairly large, not working or I couldn't have afforded it, and
I think they do, based on my experience. The really big deal is how much less
water and detergent they use and still do a good job getting things clean.
Granted, I have very soft water, but I have gotten to the point where I use
half of the recommended amount of detergent and stuff still
True. The spin speeds are definitely higher than the top loaders, but the
front loaders take longer for a similar cycle.
I think my regular cycle is about 55 minutes long. If I'm doing whites with
bleach (an extra rinse) it can run as high as 75-80 minutes.

Front loaders are much gentler on the clothing, so much less lint is
generated, and it tends to stay with the clothes anyway since they
are not swimming about in a lake of water.
We get less lint in the dryer than we used to, and essentially none
in the washer waste water.
